I finished Star Wars: Rebel Rising a few days ago and I have to say that it is a pretty solid read throughout. It really does go into detail of the backstory of the book's main character, Jyn Erso. It is a surprise to be sure but, in comparison to some of the current canon novels I read thus far, it is a welcome one. Like the Rogue One film novelization by Alexander Freed, I really got a better sense of her as a character than from what we were given with the film by itself, at least in my opinion, and like Catalyst by James Luceno, it is a pretty good prequel (or in Rebel Rising's case, technically speaking, an interquel) to the Rogue One film. I would even go and say that it is the best of the Star Wars current canon YA novels...............so far. So yeah, definitely recommended for Rogue One fans especially if you love Jyn Erso as a character. Next up, the Force is with me, and I am one with the Force; and I fear nothing, because all is as the Force wills it with Chirrut Imwe and Baze Malbus's own spotlight novel with Guardians of the Whills. After that, it's *exasperated breath* Aftermath: Life Debt. I still hope the Force is still with me by this point.﻿

Been rereading some what novel adaption of death more l changes world. For novel based on film by shame bame . Author went direction as set to g it in its own universe. With it being combination of films and manga/anime. I say this did to fact event of Japanese live action film were story events. But the difference is beast is active say wammy house and L already made near his successor and gave him case to do that did not want to do. I know this novel adaption of film so you can watch this then read this book as the book i think is better then film it's based due to inclusion of near being around not little bit L found during his last case in fulm .

Just finished Star Wars: Guardians of the Whills today and it is a good read but not as good as it could've been given the title and the two characters that are given the spotlight there. A shame, really. It had a very good cover too. Kind of makes me wonder if the story was originally set to be a comic either as a one-shot or even as a mini-series. Anyway, Greg Rucka is a not a bad writer since I did like the Han Solo spotlight novel that he wrote two years ago and he did do a good job writing for the characters of Chirrut Imwe and Baze Malbus and of the world they lived in. This is probably just me being practically spoiled by Beth Revis's own Star Wars novel, Rebel Rising, which is the Disney canon SW novel I read before jumping into it. But sadly, it is rather underwhelming half the time even for a young reader novel. Almost little to no sense of world-building for the Guardians, the Whills, etc. as well as not even bothering to bringing about what they are like in their prime years before the Empire make their presence in Jedha or even before the Empire came to power is what kills a good chunk of my enjoyment of the novel for me. I would give it credit for bringing back the Jedi and Sith Codes from the old EU, though. It is another current canon SW novel I would suggest borrowing from the library first and then decide for yourself whether or not it's worth your money and once again, I don't recommend paying full price for it. However, the book is good enough to be recommended for any and all Chirrut Imwe and/or Baze Malbus fans. Next, it's back to Chuck Wendig's very crappy writing style (and crappy writing overall) with Aftermath: Life Debt.﻿

Decided to pick Dragon Ball back up because I own like 15 volumes of it but never even finished the first one

Read the first two issues of Deadpool: Back in Black about a week ago. I really enjoyed them and wish I bought the rest. I might try to sell them and get the graphic novel instead. Also, my comic shop has been setting aside Gwen-pool for me, so I have all of that. I might catch back up on that one, because it's been a while. (haven't been reading it but I've been buying the issues because I enjoyed the ones I did read immensely and want to continue)

I finally finished Star Wars: Aftermath: Life Debt last night and it's..................better than the first Aftermath novel (which is not a very hard thing to do) but even that is not saying much. I still don't care for the writing style but there were times I kind of gotten used to it, I'm sad to say. It honestly seems like just when this book took 2 steps forward in being a far better book than it really is, it took 3-5 steps back. I will give it credit for not having as many (unnecessary) interludes as the first book had and a few of them even actually connected to the main story and the dynamic and intrigue with Rae Sloane and Gallius Rax is very well-done and the novel did actually have most of the main cast of the original trilogy being involved this time, i.e. the characters of the Star Wars universe we actually give a damn about, which in turn, also helps us get into the franchise in the first place. Chuck Wendig's writing of them as well as the supporting characters of the films like Wedge, Admiral Ackbar, and especially Mon Mothma is a massive case of Your Mileage May Vary, though. I personally don't care much for it and the characters are far better-written elsewhere in the overall EU. While, technically speaking, the next current canon SW novel I should be reading is Aftermath: Empire's End and finally close out Chuck Wendig's overall trilogy, I am going to take a break from his writing style and his writing for a while before I get to it. So, up next, it's Battlefront II: Inferno Squad.

So since last week I read most of what MangaHere has of Ito Junji's works. And I got to say they are not scary, I even read a couple of chapters from Uzumaki. Now I been reading Apocalypse no Toride. Also if anyone wants to have some fucked up fun then go read Deadtube on MangaHere with the tsukkomis on. Be warn act 3 can be a bit of a chore without them on but they will spoil it. Act 5 just started and it has a character that is based off of Kamen Rider I think.

I remember reading Uzumaki during middle school because someone brought all the books for close-by classmates to read when bored during lunch break. *shudders* Do not want to read that again not because it sucks but the art is just too much for me to handle. Props to him for his attention to detail when drawing but yeah.... not my cup of tea.
